Starting linebackers Alec Ogletree, Tae Davis likely to return

Looking for some good injury news from the Giants?

It appears that they’ll have two new starting inside linebackers against the Patriots on Thursday with Alec Ogletree (hamstring) a full participant in Tuesday’s practice and Tae Davis cleared from the concussion protocol earlier this week.

“That’s the goal right now, to go out and play,” Ogletree, the defensive captain, said after Tuesday’s workout. “We’ll see what the coaches say and the trainers and everybody says about it, but as for right now, I was able to practice today and get better today.”

His absence for two and a half games was, at first, overcome by the play of rookie Ryan Connelly who stepped in and performed well.
